China Open - 1st round (and wildcard round) discussion

Heh, It does not bother me that he won. I just wish him and some others would play their natural game.

I thought he played quite well today, scored heavily, safety was good and tight as usual. It's true that he may not have the flamboyance he had few years ago. But then again the result tells me that his current style suits him very well, so why to change it. For me, he is one of the most complete players at the moment.

Your right in that he plays maybe a little negative at times but it hasn't prevented him from winning titles which is IMO the case with Selby.

Has Ronnie withdrawn then?

I thought he had?????? Maybe I'm wrong!!!!!

Good start from Williams as he takes the opening frame with a 100 break.

EDIT: 2nd frame, Williams keeps his good form going with a 113 break..

Good morning sir.

There is nothing better than getting up in the morning and seeing Mark Williams knock in two centuries.

Quite right.

Nice 86 break from Lee, when it looked like Williams may run away with the match..

The Maguire-Davis and Greene-Yu matches are not going the way I expected. I had a feeling Maguire and Yu would prevail, but they are both 1-3 down at the interval.

any stable streams?
everything.tv isnt doing well for me

Williams-Lee has been great stuff so far. Really high quality, three centuries from Williams, and some very good play from Lee to win the other three frames.

Incidentally, if someone is interested in the Greene-Yu match, you can get a view here: http://s.sohu.com/live7/

It's a static camera from the baulk end. It works in IE, after you've installed the requested software. They are on the colours in the 6th frame, with Greene leading 3-2.

same here, and cant find the link on "livetv".

4 centuries for Williams so far. Can he equal Ronnie's record with 5 centuries on a best of 9 match?

[Odrl]

What can you say? Williams just made a 137 total clearance, his 4th century of the match.

[Masterdoctorgenius]

he can only top it with a 147 only

five 100s wouldnt be enough

[Hal]

Insane perfomence by Mark and Stephen is also playing great

[Capelito]

What would be real insane if Williams looses.
To make 4 centuries in a best of 5 and still loose would be hard to take.
